 | Comments: |
Went up very early to avoid the heavy rain predicted for the afternoon/evening. Still got extremely wet once I got into the clouds. No ice but everything was very wet. The last half mile before the summit is a small stream.
The first ~2 miles goes through some gorgeous yellow foliage. It was so bright I kept thinking the sun was out even though it decidedly was not.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's some snow/ice higher up tomorrow given the drop in temperatures. |
